How can I pin A VM to the Navigation Pane in ESXI?

How can I pin a VM to the navigation pane in ESXI so I don't have to keep opening "More VM's"?

Sorry if this is basic but I can't find a way to do this by searching.

As far as I remember there is no such option.

I agree. From recollection you only get to see two VMs and then the "More VMs..." link.

The two VMs seem to vary, but seems to be either the top VM in the list or the one most recently interacted with in the ESXi webclient. Often I find that if the host has a number of VMs and only one is powered on, that one will appear there in the browser.

You could create browser favourites for the VMs you are most interested in.

As far as I remember, just click on the vm and it will automatically pin the vm in navigation pane.
